“…They exist in clusters spanning across openness versus conservation and self‐transcendence versus self‐enhancement (Schwartz, ). For the average citizens who are not very engaged, not very ideological, and not very informed about political events and policies, political values might not be salient, but core personal values predict their political preferences (Glynn, Herbst, O’Keefe, Shapiro, & Lindeman, ; Rokeach, ; Schwartz, ).…”

The concurrent strong waves of anti-EU integration and anti-immigration preferences sweeping across Europe, capitalized on by populist discourses, reflect citizens' economic anxieties brought about by the financial crisis, dormant cultural fears, widespread suspicion towards international institutions, and frustration with "politics as usual." Extant electoral and public opinion research provide fragmented and conflicted accounts about the psychological origins of these anti preferences. In this article, (1) we articulate a novel overarching theoretical framework that focuses on reaction as a political orientation, and (2) we provide an empirical test of the propose theory using data from the 2004 and 2014 European Social Survey. Explication of political reaction as a driver of political preferences can move forward research on challenges to democratic representation, particularly political disengagement, violent protests, and populist and antiestablishment party vote in the context of the financial crisis.

“…The two‐step flow of communication model (Katz & Lazarsfeld, ) proposed that there are intervening variables such as recipients' predispositions (e.g., prevailing prejudices) or communication with peers that qualify the actual effect of mass media on recipients' views. Even beyond this notion, the unidirectional influence of media coverage on recipients' opinions has been questioned, alternatives proposing that audiences themselves exert impact on media determining which topics and stances media institutions cover in their reports (e.g., Glynn, Herbst, Lindeman, O'Keefe, & Shapiro, ; see Lee & Tandoc, ).…”

Social media's capacity for users to generate, comment on, and forward content (including mass media messages) to other users has created new forms of mass interpersonal communication. These systems render observable processes underlying the formation of opinion climates. Five attributes of contemporary electronic opinion environments can alter the way users gauge, form, and express opinions on topics of public interest: the juxtaposition of mass media and user‐generated content, ideological homogeneity and heterogeneity of online networks, technical ease with which to express opinions, the reach of messages, and networked audiences. These attributes facilitate analysis of theoretical and empirical works from different scholarly traditions, suggesting lines of inquiry that can enrich the analysis of (public) opinion formation via current communication technologies.

“…This distinguishes a crowd from other groupings of people, such as aggregation, audience, group, mass, mob, populace, public, rabble or throng . While a crowd is characterized by a "shared emotional experience, (…) the masses are defined by their interpersonal isolation" (Glynn et al ., 2018) . social aspects of crowds consider their formation, management, and ways of controlling them -from the point of view of both individuals and groups .…”

analyzing the prerequisites for the vuCa (volatility, uncertainty, Complexity, and ambiguity) phenomenon-characteristic of the modern world, which is more variable and multilateral than before-the text discusses vuCa with regard to open cooperation in the context of socioeconomic interactions. instability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of the world are caused mainly by the expansion of the model of open (mass) cooperation between the participants of public communication. The system of global communication has transformed from a predominantly one-vector model with a targeted audience to an interactive mass system in which not only the specialized subjects of the communication process but also all participants reflect all the components of the vuCa concept. This combination of communicators has characteristics similar to a crowd formed under the influence of external provocation. The consequences of the impact of vuCa communication factors are spontaneous social and economic upheavals that have emerged with the rapid development of new technologies and communication models (north africa and the Middle East in 2010-2011, ukraine in 2013-2014). over time, this trend has intensified, and the consequences are now manifested on a global scale (as in the case of socioeconomic consequences of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic). vuCa communication rests on the principles of mass cooperation, thus appropriate approaches and methods should be based on management in the vuCa world .
